THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)

SEVENTY FOUR

Wuuussshhhh!!

With grace Nyi Sukmawati sat on her bed. Even in a state of sitting, both hands are still doing dance movements. Maybe Nyi Sukmawati was a former dancer. Or maybe he has a dance studio and works as a dance teacher? I don't know....

"What are you calling me? Shouldn't I be with my bride tonight? Why did you invite me here?" Nyi Sukmawati's tone of voice sounded unhappy. Maybe Nyi Sukmawati is disturbed.

"Not that we want to disturb Him. But didn't Nyai say that the time was right for Satu Suro's night? Isn't that kang?" Sahut Mbah Suro seeks defense of Ki Sanusi. Ki Sanusi just nodded his head slowly.

"Yes! But they're united, now he's mine. So I'm free if I want to be with her at any time." Nyi Sukmawati suppressed his every utterance.

"Can't Nyai give them time to be together before the time comes? Doesn't Nyai feel sorry for Seruni? All this time he had suffered enough to be an intermediary for Nyai. Wouldn't it be too cruel if Nyai had to take her husband right on the night of his bride?" Tawar Mbah Suro who felt sorry for Seruni.

"I don't think there's any harm in giving them time." Sahut Ki Sanusi. "Isn't there still about a month to go until that day comes? Let them enjoy the moment." Ki Sanusi also tried to negotiate with Nyi Sukmawati.

For a moment Nyi Sukmawati seemed to think. There is no harm in giving them time, right? Soon he will be reunited with his bride.

"Alright, I'm not a cruel person. But I'm not a patient person either. Only until the deadline will come. And after that he'll be mine." Finally Nyi Sukmawati chose to give up. He used to be a good man, not a bad man.

"But after Nyai gets what Nyai wants, Nyai will let go of Seruni right?" Tanya Mbah Suro made sure.

"You don't have to worry about Suro. I will never break my promise. I'll just take my bride and after that Seruni is free." After saying that Nyi Sukmawati flapped her shawl and instantly disappeared from the sight of Mbah Suro and Ki Sanusi.

Mbah Suro and Ki Sanusi sighed together. Actually they did not have the heart of Seruni and Alpha. They both warned Alfa. But the warning was not heeded by Alfa at all.

"I've been trying to ask the boy nicely. But the boy kept on defending that thing. And if the boy wants to give it to me, we can try to get Nyai to let him go."

"Yes, my wife and I warned her. But maybe it's the way the boy's destiny is like this. And now the boy can't escape anymore."

Yes, a long time after Seruni drowned, Nyi Centini had warned Alfa, Ega and Ruli so that wherever they were never take something that does not belong to her. But because at that time Alfa thought that the object was intended for him, Alfa still kekeuh defend the object. Because he did not know what consequences he would bear later because he was presumptuous to take something that was not his.

"How big is your son Suro now? Must be an adult, huh?"

"Yes, it's time to have a ghost." Mbah Suro Sahut.

"It's a shame that I have no children. If only I had a female descendant, I would have made a ghost." Ki Sanusi's words just made Mbah Suro chuckle.

"Just enjoy your old days while you can still be together." Mbah Suro patted the shoulder of his college brother. Actually the age of Mbah Suro and Ki Sanusi is far adrift. But because they are single as a college, so they look familiar without distinguishing age.

"Yes! You yourself why not find a replacement for Mayangsari?"

"Ah, I love her so much that I forget that she's not the only woman in the world." Again they both laughed, laughing at each other's fate.

If Ki Sanusi is not blessed with a child, then it is different from Mbah Suro. Mbah Suro's wife died when Reksa, their son, turned ten years old.

The two of them came out of the room together. Mbah Suro immediately resigned his resignation because his business was finished. And maybe they'll be reunited when the time comes.
